Reminder or River of Creativity

 Good Morning All

Here is my rerminder for the River of Creativity Challenge for the month of August is

One Earth

I made another card and very simply, added a tag saying.

You Are My World

I hand wrote it to make it more personal

I love this Groovi card, it's so pretty.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

This week my challenge for the Craft Club ladies is

A Card for a Child.

I pulled out a sheet of LOTV toppers and made two cards, very similar but one is for a design team project so will be posted at another time.

The toppers were perfectly matched to this Pirate ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

I think the paper is from LOTV too

This will run for 2 weeks as we are back in UK for a family funeral.

Travel for Crafty Ribbons

 Good Morning All

Crafty Ribbons are having a Showcase Week and I am the last post so quickly pop over to their Facebook page and leave a comment on the original post to be in with a chance of winning a ribbon bundle.  The draw will be done at 3pm UK time today.

I made a TN - Travellers Notebook.

I used this wonderful Grosgrain ribbon with images of skylines / famous buildings on it.

I used it to make the closure or wrap around.

There is a notebook inside and 2 pockets

This would be great for taking on a holiday to write memories and notes and receipts etc.

This fold out on the side is made from an A5 envelope and cut one end open to make a pocket.

I think I may give this as a raffle prize at my Junk Journal class.u

Here are afew pictures of the sun going down the other night when I was walking Rico.

It just looked so beautiful going down between the mountains.

Another Groovi card today as I have not been doing alot of Groovi work.

This is a printed image and I only coloured the flowers and mounted onto grid work which I live doing.

Looking forward to getting my new plates which are taking an absolute age to get here

Groovi Christmas card

 Good Morning All

Quick posts from me this week and maybe none over the next couple of weeks due to a death in the family and we are having to return to UK so booking flights and tests and trying to sort lots of stuff out.

I made this Groovi card afew weeks ago for my class.

I still need to add the sentiment but it was quite a quick one to make.

This weeks challenge is simply

Make a Mans Card

Although we did not meet as the shop is shut, the ladies still wanted to do a challenge.

A simple Mans card  using a topper from Lily of the Valley and paper from them too.

Using these toppers is a very easy way to make a nice Man card.

New items in Etsy

 Good Morning All

I have added two items to my Etsy shop HERE

I wanted to make a Christmas Folio for someone to makes lists in and provide tags for their Christmas gifts so I made a test one first using some gorgeous Owl papers from JaneyBjournals

I have used these papers before to make a lovely Lapbook on a video here, this has now been sold.

Back

As you can see there are lots of tags and extra journaling space and envelopes and tuck spots.

Now onto the Christmas one

I have flip through on You Tube

 Good Morning All

I hope your weekend is going well.

Not a great deal of crafting going on here as it is so hot, August is the worst month for the heat but we choose to live here!!!

Here is my card for the challenge and the sketch is below.

I found these lovely filigree pen holders in a shop and they were a good price so I bought them and then set to, making a suitable box for them.  I hope the ladies liked them at my Craft Club.

Onto last weeks challenge which was to use more than 2 squares
